| Short description: |
Green remediation is the practice of
considering environmental impacts of remediation activities at
every stage of the remedial process in order to maximize the net
environmental benefit of a cleanup. In that spirit, this study
seeks to identify cleanup projects employing renewable,
sustainable energy sources and/or alternative fuels for site
remediation. The report describes 19 pilot-scale and full scale
projects applying renewable energy to power various remedial
system components, and provides a preliminary analysis of
potential areas of expansion.
